6.1 Pillars of the Web

One of the pillars of the web is utilizing the web as a platform. Utilizing the web as a platform is leveling the playing field, allowing others to access the web through browser and Internet connection. With Love Shack Cabins, we utilize the web by being able to access our other business to business's websites such as Haynes furniture, to make a transaction and order the things that we need from them. The next pillar is harnessing collective intelligence. This means that it allows users to give feedback and let you know what you might need to improve on. Love Shack Cabins allows our visitors to give us feed back on how they liked their stay in our cabins and what things need to be better or if there was anything that might need to be improved. Another pillar is the leveraging data. Leveraging data utilizes powerful databases to make decisions. We have made it accessible to our customers to be able to contact us at anytime, or email us if there are any questions. If they feel the need to contact us, with getting their information stored into our databases, we can look their information up and see what things might interest them and see what things are available to them. Because of the type of company that we are, the only way for this to be possible is for them to contact us via email or by simply making a phone call. The last pillar is the implementing innovative web capabilities, this is the actual capabilities that allow users to see the different things. Something that Love Shack Cabins allows viewers to see, is a widget on our page that allows you to see the weather where ever the cabin that they are interested would be. It will let them know within the next week what the temperatures will be during those days and if it might rain or such. This helps the visitors make plans for their stay, if they want to be outside or inside.
